Wednesday 19th May 1982

Clive W [Clive Whitmore] came in to see me about my Falklands paper - v. ingenious, if only we had tried it 6 months ago - agrees that it may have some role to play

Said last Saturday week they agreed with Ros (Arg Amb to UN) the text - then Galtieri rejected it in BA

Korean Ambassador for lunch - worried about comm propaganda on Labour MPs

Memo to PM on Wages Councils -D Emp memo is very misleading - implies Wages Councils Act 1979 requires ACAS review - it does nothing of the kind

Richard Haas + Lord Lloyd - about anti-trust legislation in USA and interference with trade

Allan Metzer - our policy OK

CPS - talk by Bill Deeds [Bill Deedes]

PM was opening boxes at 3.30 AM
